English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 102
☆☆☆☆☆
मैं तो बस एक
खुशनुमा ख़्याल हूँ
कभी भी बिन
बुलाए आ जाऊंगा…!
☆
I’m just a pleasant
thought…
I may visit anytime
uninvited…!
☆☆☆☆☆
हर रोज चुपके से
निकल आते नये पत्ते,
यादों के दरख्तों में
क्यूँ पतझड़ नहीं होते…
☆
New leaves keep coming
out secretly everyday,
Why there’s no autumn in
the trees of memories…
☆☆☆☆☆
न थाम हाथ सके
न पकड़ सके दामन,
बड़े क़रीब से उठकर
यूंही चला गया कोई
☆
Couldn’t just clasp the hands
couldn’t even grasp the stole,
Someone just got up from
so close and went away…!
☆☆☆☆☆
मिजाज़ में थोड़ी सख़्ती
ज़रूर रखिए, हुज़ूर
वरना पी जाते लोग समंदर
अगर वो खारा ना होता …!
☆
Be a little strict with your
temperament, my dear Sir
Otherwise, people would have even
drunk the sea if it wasn’t salty…!
